Funding boost to maintain Women’s and Children’s Hospital

Friday 14 December 2018

The Women's and Children's Hospital will benefit from $50 million worth of sustainment works, announced by the Marshall Liberal Government today.

The Minister for Health and Wellbeing Stephen Wade said the upgrades include vital infrastructure projects that will ensure the Women's and Children's Hospital (WCH) will be able to continue to provide high quality, safe care.

“As the major hospital for some of the state’s most vulnerable people, it is essential the WCH continues to operate at the highest standard,” Minister Wade said.

“The new hospital (nWCH) is several years away and we can’t neglect those who need services now.

“The State Government won’t let the current site go to rack and ruin while works on the new hospital progress.

“I want to reassure the people of South Australia that these works have been carefully considered to ensure families and taxpayers receive the greatest benefit.”
